I called a bunch of places in NYC and most said they don't know if they're gonna get any, and one said that they heard there was a problem with them so probably not? Kinda strange. Would really like to track one down

Vinyl sales are final, we do not take returns. If a record that you receive appears damaged in shipping, contact us immediately. No returns on warped records for any reason. Some records come with a slight warp due to imperfect presses and distributor storage. This problem is rare and easy to correct. Just place your thumbs on the center of the record and flex the edges in the opposite direction of the warp. Rotate, repeat, test on the turntable. Do this a couple times whenever you play the record and it should fix itself.

Good point Andy! I hadn't considered that. Of course that only applies if you purchase it via PayPal unfortunately. It's just a rotten situation when a label wants to wash its hands of any liability in advance of the potential for any ("rare") quality issues. If it's a pressing issue, labels should acknowledge this when they receive test pressings and confer with the pressing plant (probably United in Nashville, most of the time) to clear up any issues BEFORE sending them out. Don't rely on paying customers to do the dirty work for you. Y'know? If all labels follow suit, the expected quality of all future vinyl will surely suffer.

Hey Daniel, I'll gladly take the boxset off your hands!!! It's my 40th in a couple of months and that's been pretty high on my list for ages. Also you can't buy this pressing outside of the US, Canada, UK and EU, I've contacted them and they say they're looking to 'expand' their shipping at some point, but it will probably be too late...

Think I will stick with my original LP, purchased the week of its release. I am not a big fan of the milk cow known as the anniversary release. It's the gift that keeps on giving, to the record companies....
